absorber

The problem is that, by being locked into the Euro, Ireland was unable to use the shock-absorber of a floating exchange rate.

A helmet is a shock absorber, the styrofoam is compressed during the collision.

In fact the soft tissue would likely be a better absorber due to a higher concentration of water.

Boron is almost exclusively an absorber, so the boron nucleus captures the neutron and it basically disappears.

When the room is finished with all of the available light, send the light absorber across the bus as light emitters to the other processes rendering the other rooms.

Water vapor in these bands is a strong absorber limiting distance in earth's atmosphere to ~10 meters or less.

That makes the (incorrect) assumption that you have a perfect absorber with no convective or radiative losses.

If you tried to combine the two by stacking, a reflector/radiator with an absorber, you'd render one or both useless.

Carbon should be stored somewhere without contact with oxygen, for forest to be carbon absorber.

When there is no motor, do we have to have front hood, even if it's a shock absorber?

It would be like a giant shock absorber for the building.

With fusion reactors, the radiation absorber is a blanket of pipes filled with molten metal, several meters thick and several tens of meters in inner diameter.

Engineering problems are very different to "fundamental physics", and there's no particular reason to think that we can't build a suitable neutron absorber for a tokamak, just that it's tricky.
